Application Requirements


Portfolio Requirements

It is not necessary to have film or video experience. However, if your portfolio does not contain work in moving images, or if the submissions are primarily in collaborative roles (other than writer and/or director), it will be important to include additional materials that reflect your individual artistic perspective and ability to create self-generated work.

All portfolio materials must be original. The use of AI tools or large language models in creating portfolio content is prohibited. 

The Interview

Selected candidates will be invited to attend in-person campus interviews with Faculty in February, which will determine final admission to the Film BFA program. If an on-campus interview is not possible (particularly for out-of-state or international applicants), a remote interview will be scheduled instead. The interview may include a short writing exercise or other activities.
